Comedian Eddie Izzard receives wave of support for using she/her pronouns

INeedSomeTime · 2020-12-20T19:54:50+00:00

Damn I've been using she/her pronouns since I was born and no one was applauding me for that.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-05-17T17:48:27+00:00

Lmao demisexuality. Demisexuality is just not being into one night stands. So hard, so opressed, so confused. Stunning and brave!

INeedSomeTime · 2020-11-24T16:48:11+00:00

What the fuck have I just seen

INeedSomeTime · 2022-11-16T12:07:47+00:00

Suddenly milions of years of evolution which shaped the way we select partners to reproduce is reduced to just liking "masculinity" but not the most important and obvious sign your partner is male - a dick.

INeedSomeTime · 2022-10-28T09:42:07+00:00

At least there will be less "she/they" girls there.

INeedSomeTime · 2020-12-24T15:28:26+00:00

So that's how they can be wet? XD

INeedSomeTime · 2022-11-22T09:52:30+00:00

This gives me brain damage

INeedSomeTime · 2022-05-16T11:36:41+00:00

Inb4 they will say transwomen basically started the first human civilization

INeedSomeTime · 2020-08-08T21:10:13+00:00

Because they are so detached from the reality. Their inspiration is rarely a real grown up woman who isn't a pornstar.

INeedSomeTime · 2020-07-28T08:24:06+00:00

Centuries of transphobia? Trans people didn't exist until the 50's

INeedSomeTime · 2022-04-26T09:10:25+00:00

Or maybe it will be the end of pronouns in bio girls because they will flee to Tumblr where they came from.

INeedSomeTime · 2022-02-09T13:32:44+00:00

That copium lol

INeedSomeTime · 2021-11-10T15:11:46+00:00

Same. My criticism was even posted on Reddit as "aphobia" so I am officially an aphobe despite identifying as asexual.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-04-12T15:02:35+00:00

We living in a clown world

INeedSomeTime · 2020-08-24T11:36:16+00:00

Straight-up awful. Describes this movement perfectly.

INeedSomeTime · 2020-07-11T19:31:04+00:00

being GC is really a default way of thinking. Genderist way of thinking requires mental gymnastics actually, lol

INeedSomeTime · 2023-06-20T12:59:53+00:00

That's what I think every time I see a "gay" trans "man". I immediately translate it into a straight woman.

INeedSomeTime · 2023-06-05T12:26:31+00:00

I'm older Gen Z but I feel this lmao

INeedSomeTime · 2022-11-23T10:09:44+00:00

Wow I wonder if TRA brains are melting now

INeedSomeTime · 2022-11-08T14:03:40+00:00

I'm so tired

INeedSomeTime · 2022-08-20T19:52:25+00:00

Damn, suggesting being born a woman is a disability.

INeedSomeTime · 2022-05-22T08:18:12+00:00

Boohoo, that's how attraction and sexuality works? Man, even asexual gets it (after a bit of research though haha).

INeedSomeTime · 2022-04-05T10:33:29+00:00

Oh we famous

INeedSomeTime · 2022-02-10T11:37:26+00:00

To be honest it's sometimes hilarious to see a trans "man" ask if "he" passes and you a see a girl, who dresses up like some 5 year old boy. Wtf?

INeedSomeTime · 2022-02-05T13:04:54+00:00

99% of that sub are straights pretending to be opressed so no awareness detected

INeedSomeTime · 2021-10-15T07:13:05+00:00

Doubt actual transsexuals fought for the right for..... having pronouns listed?

INeedSomeTime · 2021-07-11T16:56:36+00:00

What in the fuck I've just read

INeedSomeTime · 2021-03-11T22:48:10+00:00

This. That user is an obvious troll.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-03-11T22:47:03+00:00

This is certain someone tries to make up evidences for Supers movement to be Nazi and hateful towards trans people.

INeedSomeTime · 2020-07-11T06:55:58+00:00

In my cases I also hang out in other subs for pure neutral information about some stuff so it was easier to deal with it for me. But an actual discussion aside from blindly agreeing clearly was very restricted. Saidit is a good alternative for that.

INeedSomeTime · 2023-09-26T09:58:18+00:00

The most bizarre thing about puberty blockers is instead of testing it properly until using it without giving it too much thought, they just rolled with it and if anyone had objections you were called a hateful transphobe.

Honestly, I was thinking about this shit a while ago and concluded that experimenting on people, who are considered to be trans, is hateful and transphobic itself! Regardless if these people are actually trans but somehow it's super acceptable to experiment on mentally vulnerable people. It's so sick.

INeedSomeTime · 2023-08-27T07:58:16+00:00

Gender feels like the new God in a way. I find it crazy how important it is for some people. I never understood it. Gender or more like sex is only relevant when it comes to biological and cultural differences.

INeedSomeTime · 2023-03-31T01:04:31+00:00

Literally I met a "guy" who discovered "he" is trans from cosplaying some male character too. She changed her name to include the name of some anime character also... big red flags. I have no clue how therapist simply ignored that (that didn't happen in the US or UK btw).

INeedSomeTime · 2023-02-08T12:17:14+00:00

Her dysphoria is just her realizing she's disgusting for fethishizing gay men.

INeedSomeTime · 2023-01-31T11:00:55+00:00

One way to end this shit is basically everyone declaring themselves to be non-binary. Because when you think long enough you will easily conclude 99% of society could be considered non-binary and you're not special for not being hyperfocused on your maleness/femaleness and having a personality besides for that.

INeedSomeTime · 2023-01-29T09:32:03+00:00

I genuinely expected this woman to look more butch at least but no. Straight people getting really desperate to be queer I see.

INeedSomeTime · 2023-01-14T11:49:09+00:00

I always hated the term. "My past name" doesn't sound so radical.

INeedSomeTime · 2023-01-08T17:38:19+00:00

Lmao so close to being self-aware

INeedSomeTime · 2022-12-31T17:12:30+00:00

At least shitty dyed hair can regrow to normal and makeup can be washed off...

INeedSomeTime · 2022-11-27T11:01:26+00:00

This woman sounds... mentally unstable

INeedSomeTime · 2022-11-24T10:42:53+00:00

Shooter, who killed people in a gay bar somehow isn't trans. But a sexual abuser, who raped his mother, must be refered to as "she".

INeedSomeTime · 2022-10-19T22:23:59+00:00

I feel this. I don’t wanna be surrounded by people who would shred me to pieces if they found out what I truly think.

INeedSomeTime · 2022-10-17T09:16:04+00:00

I saw a similar version of this question but related to gender identity and it went similar. Cis -> many different versions of nonbinary switched ever since. My pipeline? Straight -> asexual, and only because I misunderstood straightness as being not gay (not being attracted to the same sex) not as being attracted to opposite sex... after understanding this I don't swap labels like new socks every day.

INeedSomeTime · 2022-10-02T09:20:06+00:00

It feels like more toxic and bizarre now forgotten hipster era.

INeedSomeTime · 2022-10-02T09:16:14+00:00

One of these heteroromantic asexuals? Romantic attraction is still rooted in sexual attraction. You're just straight but afraid to fuck.

INeedSomeTime · 2022-10-02T09:14:38+00:00

Damn I even fucking hate it. I just see it as socially celebrated self-harm.

INeedSomeTime · 2022-09-21T08:32:34+00:00

Lmao. That's actually the flag we should go back to. Why out so many flags only trans one is meant to be a face of the so called progress flag? Ain't this clear who controls the community now. No wonder people wanna go back to the flag who didn’t put on a pedestal any identity. It showed true equality.

INeedSomeTime · 2022-08-07T09:11:16+00:00

Brings me back to being told by a supposed lesbian that she doesn't mind a "woman's" dick but would flinch at a male one... no you're just bi.

INeedSomeTime · 2022-07-15T07:50:28+00:00

I feel like that what you expect from "hate" against LGBTQWTF users rarely happens. Instead it will be people either wanting to discuss their takes such as how a lesbian isn't into girldicks nor she isn't just into "non-men" and receiving poor reaction to that gospel. That will be surely seen as hate attack according to them.

INeedSomeTime · 2022-06-18T09:18:07+00:00

Lol that gave me a good chuckle

INeedSomeTime · 2022-05-28T07:51:35+00:00

Typical old school homophobes but sprinkled with trans and hormone injections.

INeedSomeTime · 2022-02-09T13:56:17+00:00

Wtf?

INeedSomeTime · 2022-01-04T10:00:58+00:00

Without knowing the backstory I'd assume it's a 12 year old boy... what it would be also a big turn off

INeedSomeTime · 2021-11-19T09:30:06+00:00

I want to be asexual

That's some really funny wording.

People who came to such places only wanted finding people similar to them. Not wanting to be non-straight lol.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-08-25T19:35:30+00:00

Asexual who likes sex sounds like bisexual with extra steps unless someone says they're like heteroromantic then it's straight with extra steps.

And yeah I find the "I AM SO OPRESSED" narrative just so ridiculous and false. The issue is lack of information on asexuality, which could he useful. But this is not opression. I never felt opressed. I feel different from straight people but not opressed at all.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-08-25T10:58:55+00:00

This is why I can't stand asexual community with all that crap. It's mostly straight kids to me.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-08-16T11:56:48+00:00

They just wanna be not like the other girls

INeedSomeTime · 2021-07-30T12:00:40+00:00

All I can say to this he/him is to just cry more. Lol.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-06-29T07:00:00+00:00

Based

INeedSomeTime · 2021-06-08T13:47:55+00:00

Waaaaah waaaah leave us alone!

INeedSomeTime · 2021-06-03T21:36:17+00:00

I rolled me eyes when I saw a straight mutual today suddenly contemplating if they're demisexual... 🥱

INeedSomeTime · 2021-05-18T08:24:16+00:00

I think there is no point in talking to you really.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-04-30T07:25:24+00:00

Am I the only one seeing it as just socially accepted and praised self-harm at this point?

INeedSomeTime · 2021-04-14T07:35:06+00:00

Nah. I only agree with the Gender Critical part but also to a degree since radfems understand it as a symptom of patriarchy and how poor young women can't cope with all the sexism and stereotypes associated with their gender so they transition into men while men always transition for fetish reasons and are inherently predatory this way. This is one possible scenario but I disagree on generalizing it onto the whole phenomenon. They can be the inverse: a man who can't cope with the gender roles assignes to him so he thinks he must be a woman inside and then a woman, who is too deep into yaoi that she believes she's a gay man. Still not the only dynamic. More is going on in this whole trend. Anyways I am just a gender skeptic, not a radfem. Radfems would probably hate me for also pointing out the issues men deal with too because hurr durr women shouldn't be a men's emotional labour or something. Eh.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-04-10T10:40:16+00:00

This. Transsexualism is a mental condition and treating people like freaks because of the way they try to cope/treat themselves is not okay. The other thing are enby girls with tits out screaming that gay man must fuck them.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-04-10T10:38:30+00:00

I wish there was actually more sane trans people calling out this TRA bullshittery.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-04-09T09:50:45+00:00

I take this current trend as a mass hysteria. There were mass hysterias in which people thought they were turning into werewolves or believed were bitten by them and that made them act crazy. You look at these as insane and wonder how mentally sane people could suddenly catch that...

INeedSomeTime · 2021-03-26T08:23:38+00:00

I recently got pissed at something else. I was searching for some pictures of men wearing eyeliner or in some alternative clothes. I am very much in support of not shaming men for liking so called "feminine" things such as wearing makeup or painting nails but I got somehow irrationally pissed when I saw photos of FtM doing this and it was so visible they were just women in make up. It feels like a mockery to this kind of acceptance for the actual men, who have been always raised as men and told what's manly to do and what isn't. Meanwhile FtM was raised as female, look female and really thinks "he" does something incredibly stunning, special and brave by putting makeup.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-03-26T08:18:05+00:00

Most of the time they're impressionable teens hopping onto a trend they observed among their peers. They saw several viral Tweets saying how putting pronouns is somehow helpful for trans people (the truth is it was actually made for these non-binaries with their unicorn pronouns, prior to that actual trans people never demanded special pronouns) and they do it - mindlessly. And maybe a few of them, these with unicorn pronouns are in need of attention and feeling special. Also probably teens and young adults.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-03-25T14:54:41+00:00

They're upset the rest of Reddit didn't wanna a pedo admin who happened to be also trans?

INeedSomeTime · 2021-02-04T02:23:57+00:00

Lol. Good one

INeedSomeTime · 2021-01-21T10:45:29+00:00

This dude is an incel.

Actual women also don't get these procedures just because they want to. Sometimes they even don't if they found an incompetent doctor.

He should stop imagining being opressed by women just because he deluded himself he is one. It's not how it works.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-01-16T12:00:05+00:00

I saw it on a fandom sub a few weeks ago... It was an art which showed a character being trans (canonically they aren't). Technically nothing wrong about it but at the same time I never saw art showing them as gay or bi.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-01-12T13:34:50+00:00

I started to notice how frequent this is. Sometimes I check rebloggs on my posts on Tumblr to see what's written in tags. To be fair I think everytime I saw these accounts had pronouns like they/them or she/they. I think maybe there was just a few accounts with no pronouns put... but if they had pronouns then they always were "they/them". This is very telling.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-01-04T13:53:07+00:00

In 2077 our bodies will be considered abnormal structures caused by congrnital defects. /s

This is just insane and affirming the self-hatred of gender dysphoric people causes more harm than help. It shouldn't be affirmed nor challenged (therapists don't usually challenge delusions too).

INeedSomeTime · 2021-01-04T01:01:08+00:00

I don't want to live on this planet anymore

INeedSomeTime · 2021-01-03T16:25:24+00:00

Yeah I am the asexual ally here and I had to pick the undecided option sadly... but yeah the asexual option wouldn't really hurt.

INeedSomeTime · 2021-01-03T16:12:26+00:00

Basically you can justify a lot of crazy stances by twisting scientifical facts like this.

INeedSomeTime · 2020-12-29T14:07:39+00:00

Growing breasts and getting my period was awful. Growing body parts designed to attract men and feed babies repulsed me. I hated knowing that my menarche meant I was fertile, that the biological purpose of me was to be a baby machine. I felt so humiliated and repulsed by the purpose of my body and dressed in over-sized clothes to hide it. I have never had any desire to have a penis (not into penises) but I hated having a vagina as I knew the purpose of a vagina was for it to be penetrated by penises and pushing out the resulting babies. I also hated seeing my younger brothers growing taller and stronger than me. I hated that women were designed to be physically weaker, slower and smaller than men, it seemed extremely unfair to me. I couldn't see one single that was better about being female, it was all bad. I asked women if they knew any advantage at all about being female and they brought up all the negative stuff like the ability to get pregnant, attracting men, being weaker so men can do things for you as positives (each to their own, I still see these things as negatives). The expectation to like what I dislike just made it more humiliating, the expectation to be so stupid that one would even prefer being physically weaker.

It's terrifying how much I can relate to this. It's basically my thoughts written down when I was a teen. I still try to cope with it and just accept it as what it is. I mean I'd love to have all physical qualities all men have but it's funny it's something what today's transitioning can't provide. If it could without making me just a weird amalgamation of female features with some added male features then maybe I'd consider it....

INeedSomeTime · 2020-08-28T11:08:58+00:00

To my knowledge their high rate of suicide is explained with severity of their gender dysphoria also... but then what about people with body dysmorphia?

INeedSomeTime · 2020-08-25T08:18:08+00:00

Seeing this I think that you're more "opressed" as an atheist because it is punishable by death in 13 Muslim countries, lol.

INeedSomeTime · 2020-08-20T12:49:20+00:00

I wonder if they consider asexuals an exception to this?

INeedSomeTime · 2020-08-16T07:29:06+00:00

Living online makes you detached from the reality including your body. What a shocker.

INeedSomeTime · 2020-08-16T07:28:15+00:00

I joined a certain very small LGBT sub on Reddit for my country and obviously there was a transbian furry with a furry profile pic and a meme posted about how he turned into anime girl, lol.

INeedSomeTime · 2020-08-14T08:50:51+00:00

It annoyed me when I saw it on r/asexuality, which was a place free from trans praise until now... we should be focusing on asexuality not that trans bullshit.

INeedSomeTime · 2020-08-08T11:01:11+00:00

These types of attractions were made for asexuals since somehow asexuality is supposed to be a spectrum. As an asexual I am very skeptical of it and it feels like asexuality community focuses more on validating people, who aren't actually asexual but have low libido, than on actual asexuals... so you have that weird crap.

According to their way of thinking I'm asexual aromantic and to be fair I wish asexual meant asexual aromantic not basically anything else like that weird thing of sex-positive heteroomantic asexual, who has sex everuday and loves it, lmao. Straight but with extra steps and labelling.

I'm cofused how sexual, romantic and sensual attraction aren't related to each other. I don't experience these. Platonic attraction seems like a way to validate that aromanticism is also a spectrum so an aromantic can somehow form something stronger than friendship but not romance. I don't get it. I just wanna good friends at most not that weird stuff.

INeedSomeTime · 2020-07-22T13:14:42+00:00

I wanna add that seeing that TQ+ also includes asexuals but to me they aren't like the rest of TQ+. They just want acknowledgement and that's everything. Unlike these trans and non-binary kids demanding special behavior and rights around them.

INeedSomeTime · 2024-04-12T11:57:08+00:00

Obviously you have TRAs trying to deny the facts.

INeedSomeTime · 2024-02-15T11:04:34+00:00

Men dressing up as women for lolz doesn't mean they're trans. But these people are ready to trans already established characters, draw them with masectomy scars or in this case... trans deceased people.

INeedSomeTime · 2023-10-19T12:20:30+00:00

We all have to be force-teamed with trans in the end looks like. They're truly cancer of LGB community.

INeedSomeTime · 2023-10-19T12:19:13+00:00

They love to invade and turn everything trans. Bathrooms, safe spaces for gay people or even just entertainment media...

INeedSomeTime · 2023-10-09T07:26:14+00:00

It is so clear to me that so many straight people in the LGBTQ movement see "gay" not as a sexual orientation, but as a desirable aesthetic-- a set of trendy habits, a haircut, a certain style of clothes and mannerisms, which bestow virtue upon the posturer.

So basically same goes for queer. I noticed that it's more like a subculture than just being gay, bi or even asexual. Certain behaviors or way of clothing tends to be associated with being queer. So often that behavior can be described as childish and that's one of the things making me uncomfortable in such places. I am a grown person, not a teenager. Colorful hair with awful haircut is other thing. To be fair I prefer to look the opposite way to queer lol. So I look "straight." That reminds me how some kweers cry about the idea of not being seen as "queer enough." What the fuck does it even mean?

INeedSomeTime · 2023-10-09T07:18:53+00:00

I feel bad for actual trans men when it comes to that. If I saw a short man with these mastectomy scars I'd not immediately think that's a trans man. But ever since these scars are basically glorified with Tumblr/Twitter artists giving them to every male character they draw then it's so easy to tell now. I hate these arts because they clearly draw a biological man but with these scars. Trans men rarely look like this. Their shoulders aren't broad and hips narrow. And their voices also are like on helium... And they're usually quite short. Misinformation is insane.

INeedSomeTime · 2023-10-07T11:34:50+00:00

I think a lot of lesbians who buy into this are bisexuals in denial, who bully actual lesbians into doing the same.

INeedSomeTime · 2023-10-07T11:31:14+00:00

Hell even if I am asexual I don't get how people buy into this shit that a lesbian is basically attracted to some vague idea of a woman but if such a woman looks like a hairy man with a dick somehow she gotta be into it. Sexuality is based on physical world, not some spiritual feelings wtf.

INeedSomeTime · 2023-10-04T08:16:48+00:00

I definitely agree that the whole "romantic asexual" thing might be just a platonic bond but since people don't take friendships seriously even if such bonds can be as strong and a "breakup" hurts as much too, then they prefer to call it romantic so it could be seen as more significant.

If that's the case it's definitely rather sad, not gonna lie. I can form really strong platonic bonds (friendships) but since it's not romantic in the actual sense (lacks sexual component) then it isn't seen as important by society even if it is important for me. It is seen as okay to end or neglect such a relationship for the sake of romantic one because it's seen as higher priority.

So I can see why ace community is clingy towards using that wording. Even if it's technically wrong.

I also agree with the other subgroup of "romantic asexuals." I overall have the impression asexual label truly attracts confused people (or spicy straights) but since this is a some kind of entry to LGBT community as a whole then maybe with time they will grow more comfortable with being just gay or bi by observing others who are gay or bi there.

INeedSomeTime · 2023-09-26T10:33:17+00:00

Honestly even I am not LGB but this shit concerns me and while I don't have the need to come out (even to just stop being asked if I am gay in denial...) but I don't wanna be assumed to be the blue haired queer nutjob, who is looking for kids, for being asexual.

INeedSomeTime · 2023-09-26T10:29:10+00:00

LGBTQ+ community is mostly a bunch of people, who actually don't have much in common besides for being a bit different. Trans people have so completely different stuff going on than gay or bi people. Asexual people are also different than gay or bi people - in such a space they wouldn't like to talk about sex in theory, right?

INeedSomeTime · 2023-09-26T10:24:32+00:00

According to this form of classification I am aromantic and asexual (so technically your stereotypical asexual) so I may not be able to answer that too well. I think the difference between sexless romance and friendship is a bit blurry. I guess you wouldn't kiss a friend though. Might be that asexual simply says they're comfortable with doing stuff like kissing with both sexes. Some only feel comfortable with doing it with the same sex as them or as the opposite one.

Since I am super clueless about romance and sex (I mean, not surprising lol) then I am not gonna try engaging in a discussion about romantic attraction. Traditionally romantic attraction is understood as platonic attraction and sexual attraction. In asexual community they define it as... platonic attraction with some extra but not sexual stuff? I mean I am not gonna critize it because it's not rare to find the same word meaning a bit different things depending on the place/context/culture. So I don't think it's a stretch that romantic attraction understood by asexuals will be different than romantic attraction defined by the rest of society. It even shows some of these fundamental differences between actual asexuals and the rest of population I assume.

But this is where I think the whole split attraction model should be used exclusively by asexuals. Because asexual romantic attraction(platonic+nonsexual extra) is different from typical romantic attraction (platonic+sexual).
